Eleven dollars
and you say,
I'll take a pass.

Take a pass
on making peace.

Where others would travel
from the four corners
of the metropolis
to gather as one
at the central bus station
then blaze a rare trail
to an all you can eat
chinese buffet
on Leach Highway,
you say,

Eleven dollars?
I'll take a pass.

I don't know what to make of it. I'm befuddled. It leaves my mind
to wonder. I think it's pretty good. I just don't know how to approach it Lol.

I see what ShadowsCool means. There must be one helluva back story to this. I'd give $22.00 for the rest of it. It does have that laid-back colloquial tone that you do so well.

Fair enough I'll explain. A family who are distant agree to meet. One member says no and uses the cost of the buffet as an excuse. But the price they are paying is much higher than $11.

H Delta. It's an intriguing poem. There's more in the unsaid than what's said. Nice one.

I could be wrong, but is what someone's taking a pass on riding on a bus? At least, the central section seems to imply that's what's being rejected. Though the "making peace" bit is quite curious... I guess you're thinking that it's quite peaceful on such bus rides? I dunno, I may be completely off here. Or maybe they're rejecting joining others who are going to a buffet because the buffet is $11?

If somebody says they'll take a pass, it usually means 'no thanks'
